… was a very busy week! But what’s important here is to show you something new.
My grand daughters came on the holiday eve and my Christmas tree and Nativity scene are done. My tree is artifitial – those built by layers. This year my eldest grand daughter assembled the tree with her mother. At the end she said: mum it’s missing a layer! mum replied: no it’s not missing, you’ve just grown! :)

What to do? I wanted to buy anything. We search through what I had and finally we found a piece of dark burgundy felt. We measured, cut and we did a mantle. But I. was always asking us for that little fur with little dots…my daughter and I didn’t understand what she wanted. Suddenly she run downstairs and came back with one of the Magus Kings from Nativity scene.
Vêem aquele pelinho com pintinhas pretas à volta do pescoço???Mais procura e mais feltro, agora branco. Na procura fui encontrando ideias (encontrei coisas que já não me lembrava que tinha…).

Do you see that little fur with little dots around the neck???More searching and more felt, now white. While searching I was finding ideas (I found things I didn’t remember I have…).

I found a kind of flowers I’ve tried to do with scraps long ago and still used one ;) and with little bits of felt sewed carelessly I’ve spread those little dots on the mantle.
I just am sorry not to have a photo of her happy face when she arrived in the evening and saw the mantle!
